“…Aligned with the CDC’s model for SDOH, for instance, is ample evidence that learning is shaped by social and community context (Carter & Merry, 2021), economic stability (Volante et al, 2019), neighborhood and built environment (Chetty et al, 2016; Hyde et al, 2021), educational access and quality (Shi et al, 2022), and health care access and quality (Cohodes et al, 2016). Building on the WHO’s more expansive formulation of SDOH, social inclusion, nondiscrimination, and structural (as well as family and group) conflict are also powerful influences on individual learning (Carter & Merry, 2021).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed what educators, policymakers, and researchers have long known—namely, that learning opportunities and outcomes are intimately intertwined with other aspects of children’s and families’ lives. The list of social forces outside the education sector that can affect learning is endless and includes economic experiences that are inequitably distributed, such as housing security (Gallagher et al., 2020), income (Hoynes & Rothstein, 2019), and wealth (Pfeffer, 2018), as well as social experiences, such as interpersonal and structural racism, (dis)ability, and xenophobia (Anderson-Nathe, 2020; DeMatthews, 2020). Now, it is time to lock in this learning among policymakers, practitioners, and researchers. We posit that the concept of “social determinants of learning” can serve as a powerful reframing tool for promoting educational equity, similar to the conceptual shift and policy impact we have seen in public health as “social determinants of health” has become an accepted and eventually essential concept.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the youth mental health crisis worldwide (de Figueiredo et al, 2021;Imran et al, 2020). Notwithstanding the physical harm wrought by COVID-19, shelter-in-place orders magnified the effects of social isolation and resulted in a total disruption of normal routines among teens living in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia (Gruber et al, 2021;Hyde et al, 2021;Shukla et al, 2023). The pandemic illuminated significant barriers to accessing mental health care, including breaks in care, limited access to telehealth resources, mental health professional shortages, and societal stigma (Panchal et al, 2021).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic was characterized by loneliness, especially among teenagers. This study explored the coping mechanisms, activities, challenges, places visited, and sources of support that predicted teenagers feeling connected to others during COVID-19. Data come from surveys administered in the United States and Canada in summer 2022. Multivariate logistic regression showed that producing personal protective equipment, supporting siblings, getting involved in the local community, becoming more politically active, and taking language classes were positively associated with connectedness. In addition, teens in Canada were more likely to feel connected to others than teens in the United States. These findings can inform policies to enhance resilience in teenagers during protracted crises.
